Hi my name is Steve,

I am a fully qualified DSA Approved Driving Instructor, living in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, with over 10 years experience whose stress free approach to Driving Tuition, enables you to learn at your
own pace in a relaxed atmosphere

Whatever your reasons are for learning to drive, Andy1st can help and support you every step of the way. From your initial enquiry with our helpful and professional administration team to the
whipping off of the ‘L’ plates we are here for you! You can contact us any time and we will find the right instructor for you. You may have a preference for either a male or female driving instructor
and you may prefer to learn in an automatic car. Whatever your preferences or needs are we will help you. However you choose to learn, in whatever car, you can be sure you will receive driving
tuition that is second to none!

All of our instructors are very familiar with the areas they cover. They know the junctions to look out for and will take you along roads that will serve to maximise your experiences. Driving is
about concentration, focus and practice. Even after years and years of driving, there will always be a situation you have never experienced before and so it’s important to be vigilant at all times.
Not only will you spend time on the basics of learning to drive and the manoeuvres necessary for your practical test, you will also work hard on hazard perception. Detecting possible collisions forms
a large part of the theory test that needs to be sat and passed before taking your practical test. This is why our instructors work with you in your lessons to perfect these skills too.

Driving isn’t all about getting the car moving or stopping at the traffic lights, it’s about staying alert and focussed on the traffic around you and averting possible dangers. Distracted driving
is estimated to be a factor in 25% - 50% of all traffic crashes. Being safe on the roads is beneficial to you, other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. We have a keen interest in road safety, well we
would wouldn’t we?! We look at data detailing road collisions in local areas. This helps us pinpoint tricky junctions, traffic signals and areas where there is heavy traffic. It may seem strange that
we “look for crashes” but it actually helps us and our pupils. Some pupils may be reluctant to tackle these hotspots but with help from your instructor and by practicing, these areas will be less
troublesome for you.

By highlighting these local collision sites it allows you and your instructor to familiarise yourself with them time and time again. It will help build your confidence for when you have to tackle
them alone. It is especially useful if these roads form part of your regular route somewhere. Again, by building up your knowledge and experience you will be able to apply the care and attention
required to remain safe.

In the lovely area of Shrewsbury we have highlighted 4 areas. As we have said, these are not areas to be avoided; they are simply roads or junctions that would benefit from some practice and some
care and attention. The first road is Castle Street (A5191). There are quite a few collisions on this street all the way along so pay careful attention if travelling that route. The other area is the
island where Frankwell, Copthorne Road and Mardol Quay meet; again, it would be prudent for you and your instructor to have a few practices around there if you are planning to venture into that
area.

Bellstone is another area of road that has had its fair share of accidents reported in the 7 years we have been looking at this data. Particular attention should be paid to the stretch between
Bridge Street and Claremont Hill. Finally, the Smithfield Road carries a lot of traffic into the town and therefore has many collisions reported on it. Some stretches are worse than others, pay
particular attention to where Smithfield joins Roushill, Mardol Quay and Raven Meadows.

We hope this has gone some way to helping you become aware of the roads in your local area. Please don’t be frightened of them, simply concentrate, stay focussed and stay safe!
